FINKELDEY

Anonymous asked 9 years ago

Most Finkeldeys in the US trace their ancestors to the town of Frankenberg, Hesse, Germany, where records on the family go back into the 1400s. There is one other branch that came from Lamstadt, Hanover, Germany and one from Osten.
I have researched all Finkeldeys in the US. The original immigrants went primarily to Baltimore (and later Cumberland, MD), Philadelphia (my branch) Brooklyn, NY (then to CT coast area), Oakland. CA. There is another cluster in St. Louis.
I am happy to share information with anyone researching this name.
